FTO Software Built for How You Actually Train

Puts daily observations, performance ratings, and remedial plans in one digital system so FTOs document faster, supervisors track progress in real time, and coordinators maintain compliance without the paperwork burden.

Document from Anywhere

FTOs can complete daily observation reports from any device, whether they're in the field or back at the station. No more paper forms or waiting until end of shift.

Real-Time Progress Tracking

Supervisors see exactly where each recruit stands without chasing down paperwork. Identify struggles early and intervene before small issues become career-ending problems.

Analytics Made Simple

Training coordinators can verify documentation, track phase progression, and ensure program compliance in minutes instead of hours spent auditing paper files.

FTO Software That Makes Reports Easy

When FTO software makes documentation this easy, it actually gets done. And when it gets done consistently, you have the records you need to make defensible decisions about who's ready for solo patrol and who needs more time or remediation.

Real Time Insight

Supervisors get notified when reports are submitted and can review them immediately. If a recruit is struggling, you know about it that day, not weeks later when someone finally turns in a stack of paperwork. Coordinators can pull up any recruit's complete DOR history in seconds and see trends, patterns, and whether FTOs are documenting consistently.

Device Agnostic

FTOs complete DORs on their phone or tablet during or right after shift. The interface is simple, rate performance across standardized categories, add narrative observations, flag concerns, and submit. No hunting for paper forms, no transcribing notes later, no lost documentation.

Work Smarter with Tracwire

Paper forms and legacy systems don’t just slow you down—they create gaps in accountability, consistency, and recruit performance. Without reliable data and streamlined workflows, small issues turn into big problems. Missed documentation, frustrated FTOs, and poor training outcomes lead to turnover, liability, and wasted time.
